Smart factory growth Counterpart, Inc. has recently invested in a smart factory with STOPA automated storage and two Trumpf machines (TruLaser Center 7030 and TruPunch 5000), signaling a capability upgrade and potential for faster turnaround, higher precision, and expanded capacity to win larger or more complex fabrication projects.
Advanced fabrication offerings The company provides a comprehensive range of metal fabrication services including laser cutting, CNC punching, press brake forming, welding (MIG, TIG, spot), finishing, priming, and assembly, allowing cross-selling opportunities to customers seeking a single, integrated supplier for end-to-end manufacturing.
Strong safety credentials Repeated recognition for workplace safety (Meritorious Achievement Award from the South Dakota Safety Council) enhances credibility with customers who prioritize compliant and low-risk manufacturing partners, potentially easing procurement approvals and audits.
Strategic capacity fit With a 50,000 square foot facility and a mid-size employee base, Counterpart can target mid-market manufacturers in need of scalable metal fabrication capacity, quick lead times, and proximity benefits for regional OEMs across industries seeking reliable domestic production.
Competitive positioning The combination of in-house finishing (priming and topcoating), cross-flow spray booths, and a full range of welding and fabrication capabilities positions Counterpart to compete on quality, integration, and single-source logistics for customers in machinery and related sectors.
